The dreaded arm fat...

Sadly you cannot target a specific area for fat loss.

Lifestyle change and cardio mixed with weights is the way to go overall.

ETA: I feel you though, I have the most stubborn back fat. Like why

Weights! Freeweight routines and pushups helped my upper arm and shoulder definition a lot.

But yeah, no way to do targeted weight loss. Gotta just hope it comes off the places you want as well as everywhere else.

There are some great routines for this on pinterest. It has helped me with the same problem. But, regular cardio and diet is a must.

Yeah, the dreaded arm fat. My mom used to call that little wad of fat at the armpit "chicken tenders"...somehow that makes me think more fondly of them

You can't choose where the fat leaves your body...So loose fat, and you'll be closer to getting rid of your arm fat.

I agree with @Emilyg...free weights. I use a DVD that's got two different 15 minute arm routines. If you're consistent with any exercise routine, you'll see results. Things will get more toned.

Weights! Tone it up

Fitnessblender.com

My favorite is the Tank Top Arms workout. I also do the 40 minute upper body strength for people who get bored easily. Mix in some cardio for fat loss.

Start using free weights and be consistent in a fitness routine. You can't target fat loss, but if you are working out overall your muscles will become more defined and that should help your arms look less flabby.

Triceps dips are my friend! You can do them off the seat of your dining room chair. Triceps kick backs with weights are my least favourite exercise, but damn it - they work. Also incorporate exercises that focus on your shoulder (either isolation exercises or all round shoulder exercises; I do isolation exercises that target the back, front, and sides of my shoulders, plus some exercises to work all aspects of the shoulder), to tone.

Also, remember that it takes TIME for this to happen. It wont happen over night. I have been working out for a YEAR and still have the little chicken wing. Time is of the essence, but I promise, you will feel better. My shoulders and triceps actually make me excited to work out, because they look GOOD. Not yet AMAZING, but I am on my way there. Oh! And cardio and diet and loads of water!

OMGG... you look fine! Don't sweat it!

Try different forms of planking along with tricep dips! I've seen a huge difference in that little pocket of fat with planking, tricep dips and weight training. Good luck!

I feel your pain

Ive been doing these workouts for like three weeks now and I can already see results! My arms are tightening up and looking less flabby!

Push ups and rapid punching will all help, plus using free weights for your bi's, tri's and chest.

I keep little 5lb weights under our couch so when I'm just sitting there watching tv I can do some little exercises. Toning is your best bet (but you'll have the best results with diet & regular exercise as well).

Diet: Weight Watchers or use a free tracker like www.myfitnesspal.com

Cardio: Definitely helps

Strength: Don't just work on your arms. Work on core-strength, do some legs (like squats), and also work on your arms.

Flexibility: Don't forget to stretch. It will prevent injury and help you to be less sore.

If you hate going to the gym, find an activity that you do enjoy, like zumba + weights, kickboxing, swimming etc..

Specifically what I do: I dance 3h per week (1.5x2/wk), I practice kung fu (1.5 h/wk), I do stairs up to 12 floor instead of coffee break 2x/day, I track with myfitnesspal, and for lent I'm also doing the plank everyday. Oh, also i walk my dog...

Alright ladies, I was having concerns about losing weight and getting in better shape for my wedding in May. I had bells palsy a little over a year ago and the steroids made me gain serious weight! I started a program and so far I am down 12 inches and 10 pounds in just 2 months. I would love to share more photos and or share my program with you if you'd like. My email is *********@*****.***. Nothing makes me happier than sharing my success with others and helping them reach their goals. My arms have actual biceps now, my chest/back shrank 3 inches in the first few WEEKS! I didn't hire a personal trainer because that's too expensive. I went on a program that involves diet and exercise. If you stick with, not only will you see results but you will see them FAST. The photo to the left was my engagement shoot. That day was my wake-up call. I felt fat in everything and tried to hide it. It was about how I felt not looked. So, if you want to see more photos and learn more, contact me. I would be happy to help!

I feel your pain, I call them my bat wings, but Weights and cardio!!!

I lift heavy weights at the gym twice a week which has firmed everything up. Kinda sad I didn't end up with a backless dress lol but do curls, shoulder press, push ups, lawn mowers, bench press...ect at a weight that is challenging but not painful 2-3 days a week
